Chairman MILLER [presiding]. The committee will come to order, a quorum being present. Good morning to everyone. Today we will be discussing new leg- islation I introduced this week to help raise awareness about con- cussions for student athletes and to improve students’ well-being both on the field and in the classroom. Concussions have always been part of the conversation about student athletes, but for far too long we have talked about what has happened without taking any action to help students manage (1) 2 those dangerous injuries. When the student suffers a concussion, it is not just their athletic future that is at stake. Without proper management, their performance in the classroom is also in jeop- ardy. The student athlete needs to be much more about the student than the athlete. We simply can’t talk about student athletes without really talk- ing about what brain injuries really mean for a student’s future. In the concussion management arena, there is a saying, ‘‘When in doubt, send it out.’’ Unlike a broken leg or a bruise, concussions are not easily identified, but they are equally, if not more, dangerous. Ninety percent of the concussions occur without a loss of con- sciousness, and many students simply don’t know if they are in- jured. A prolonged diagnosis when the pressure to play surpasses the need for treatment can mean dangerous and harmful results to students. In the past 4 years there were nearly 400,000 reported concus- sions in high school athletes, and experts believe that prevalence of sports-related concussions is much higher than reported. It is now commonly reported that 300,000 sports-related concussions occur annually, and once you factor in the recreation-related con- cussions like those occurring on the playground, the number rises dramatically. We need to empower students to know when they may be at risk. Students deserve to know the signs and symptoms and the risks of concussions so they will be able to take appropriate next steps to prevent further injury and to prevent their successes in school from suffering. Student athletes with information about the symp- toms of concussion are more likely to treat and manage their inju- ries. Many states have already taken action, but there is little regula- tion on the whole to ensure that the students in every state will have the same minimum protection. High school athletes are at greater risk with sports-related concussions than college or profes- sional athletes, because their younger brains are more susceptible to injury, and female youth athletes are even more likely to suffer concussions. The Protecting Student Athletes from Concussions Act will help improve concussion safety and management for student athletes by requiring school districts to develop and implement a standard community-based plan for concussions safety and management. It will require school districts

This will be celebrated ad nauseam and the 2020-2021 season will be celebrated as the 100th Anniversary season of the NFL. The marketing folks at the NFL no doubt spend weeks and months figuring out how to milk this milestone for as long as possible. This points to the self-evident proposition that the National Football League is all about marketing and only incidentally about actual football. One obstacle in the NFL marketing orbit is the persistent set of issues surrounding Colin Kaepernick and the National Anthem protests. Three years ago, and it seems much longer, the San Francisco Forty-Niner’s quarterback went down on one knee during the playing of the anthem during an exhibition game in San Diego.

    Volume 6 2017 www.csscjournal.org ISSN 2167-1974 Deflated: The Strategic Impact of the “Deflategate” Scandal on the NFL and its Golden Boy Michael G. Strawser Stacie Shain Alexandria Thompson Katie Vulich Crystal Simons Bellarmine University Abstract In January 2015, the Indianapolis Colts informed the National Football League of suspicion of ball deflation by the New England Patriots in a playoff game. What followed was a multi-year battle between the NFL, a “model” franchise, and one of the league’s most polarizing players, Tom Brady. This case study details what would affectionately become Deflategate through the lens of agenda setting and primarily image restoration theories and contains an analysis of the public relations process. Keywords: NFL; Deflategate; Tom Brady; New England Patriots; image restoration; agenda setting Introduction Not. Another. Scandal. Football fans across the country could almost hear those words coming from National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell’s mouth moments after the “Deflategate” scandal broke in January 2015.

    BIOGRAPHICAL HIGHLIGHT When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made that comment in 2009, it was insightful and prophetic. Everyone who has met Chris Draft knows he is an outstanding man. What everyone is learning is that he is also a compassionate, creative, driven leader who is using his national platform to change the future of lung cancer. Chris Draft is the Founder, President, and CEO of the Chris Draft Family Foundation (CDFF) whose mission has been to empower families to lead healthy lifestyles. He is also the Co-Founder of Team Draft, leading the creation of a national campaign that is changing the face of lung cancer. CHRIS DRAFT He is an internationally recognized speaker, Former NFL Player community leader, and family and character advocate who serves as an NFL Ambassador and a national spokesperson on many health-related issues, including the care and treatment of asthma, from which he suffers, and lung cancer, the disease that claimed the life of his wife, Keasha in 2011. Chris and his story has an impact on just about everyone he meets. His life and work have positioned him to be a catalyst for change. A graduate of Stanford University with a BS in Economics, Chris played football and baseball with the Cardinal. As a three-year starter at linebacker, and senior captain, Draft was an All-Pac 10 performer. In 1998, he was drafted by the Chicago Bears, ultimately spending 12 years in the NFL. In addition to the Bears, Chris played for the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, St Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills, and Washington Redskins, finishing his NFL playing career in 2010.
